Downtown North East is a one-tract neighborhood of North East, PA and houses 4,092 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 108 evictions logged in this tract. The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.6/10. The poverty rate is 16%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Cost burden runs about a quarter against 21.5% citywide, putting Downtown North East 4.1% over its own city. Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 2.6% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 2.5% in 2006 against a 2.6% peak. Against average income of $67,469, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $731, close to the North East average.
46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
